Deaths Embrace

Death wraps it's cold arms around me
enfolding me in a gentle embrace
inviting me into a peaceful Void
no pain, no fear
nope not here
Death whispers low
many voices, female, male, young, old
all echo in that whisper soft
it promises peace, quiet, safety, seclusion
I reach for the Void
wanting it all to end
Death unfurls midnight wings
black feathers slowly fall like a light shower of black snow
the wings enfold us on a feathery cocoon
Death and I in its center
it's arms still around me
Eyes like icy blue glacier pools gaze into my own
as we drift along the abyss
